In Howe, a family has turned their home into a haunted house and are inviting the community to enjoy the free show for two nights – Friday, October 26 and Halloween night of October 31. Both events will begin at sunset and continue until people stop showing up according to owners Chris and Heather Hester, who live at 1817 Douglas St.
On Halloween night, there will be a costume contest at 7:30 pm and the winner will take the 1st Annual Golden Pumpkin Trophy.
“Our singing pumpkins will be putting on a show in the yard – singing Halloween songs and telling jokes,” stated on the event’s Facebook page. There will also be candy for trick or treaters on both dates. There is plenty to see, even for the ones too timid for the walkthrough.
The Hesters say the haunt is a bit scary so they recommend the younger kids enjoy the pumpkin show and the great yard decor while the brave ones can go through the walkthrough.
There will also be a few “scare cams” set up through the tour. The Hesters say that the number one reason for the video footage is for the safety of all of the visitors, but also to enjoy the scares later. Individuals that want to see their scare clips can do so by contacting the Hesters.
